lnternational Pillows

It's a small thing, really.
But it makes me smile...makes me giggle even...to think of it.
I've created items for clients, family and friends for years. Often it's for a local client and I get to physically be there to see how everything fits together in it's new home.
 Sometimes, the items are shipped across the country. (And this, too, makes me smile.) But this...this is a first for me. 
 Today, through the beauty of Facebook, I got to see how a set of pillows I made look in their new home...
in Manchester, England!
(I'm smiling even now...can you tell?)  
If you've visited my daughter Kaleigh's blog, you might have noticed she is dating a wonderful young man she calls, "Mr. Darcy". Mr. Darcy is from Manchester, England. 
Mr. Darcy's parents, lovingly referred to by Kaleigh as "Wendy Darling" and "Sir Paul", came to Oklahoma for a visit last fall. While here, Wendy requested a set of "cushions" for her home using the zebra print, green and orange.
And here they now reside. In England.
See, I told you. It's a small thing, really.
It's not like they're in Buckingham Palace! But it makes me smile.
Thank you for the pictures Paul & Wendy! You made my day!

  5. Isn't it amazing! It would make me smile and probably make my day, too, Sonya! To think there's a "Sonya Special" sitting on a loveseat in England! : )

  6. I love Manchester! That one of the really awesome things about the internet isn't it? It's like you can travel the world from your laptop. You did a wonderful job on the pillows too!
    I got a thrill this week when a larger piece of furniture sold form my booth, it's just exciting! We get to do what we love :)

  8. Hi, Sonya -- Hope you have been well! Your pillows are great, and I think they look wonderful in this pretty home. What do you mean they're not in "Buckingham Palace?" They are in an even more deserving place, where the owners of your beautiful pillows will truly appreciate them. :)
    Best,
    Gloria
